Hubbub Bicycles

Bicycle lanes and recreational trails are “hostile to motor vehicles."

We genuinely want to understand this perspective. Forget for a moment the pedantic argument that these are inanimate things, incapable of hostility. We didn't make the original statement, but this way of thinking is now shaping fiscal policy.
To those who agree, policy-wise or other-wise, please, please do explain how this makes sense for the health of our society.

I (Brian) actually have mixed feelings about bike lanes... I'd prefer to have a road system that simply allows for safe travel by bicycle, within the traffic rules we already have. Bike lanes are often poorly designed, impede regular traffic flow, and unnecessarily upset motorists for a variety of potential reasons, real or imagined.

I want to understand the hostility comment because, if it is somehow true, at all, a clue to that supposed truth might give us a foot in the door to open it further. It has never seemed as if we can wedge a foot through that door, so this is an eye-opener, if not at least an eyebrow-raiser.

If you know Diane, then you can imagine she had a Substack response too when Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy recently claimed that bike lanes are DEI:

I've had my head down in the shop for so long now, and had no idea videos like this are out there, but a friend just referred me to them. It's nice to see the credit, but I learned a few things myself from watching it too. Very cool, and well done.
